Saint-Véran
Claimed to be the highest permanent settlement in the French Alps, this pocket-sized hamlet in the Hautes-Alpes sits at high elevation within the Queyras Regional Natural Park and holds membership in the Les Plus Beaux Villages de France association. Despite its size, it supports a modest clutch of cafés and restaurants, and the surrounding mountain terrain draws those looking for an alpine base in southeastern France.
